Exqisite Delights Of Montenegro

If you’ve never been to Montenegro, you should definitely visit this hidden gem on the Adriatic coast. Its culinary tradition reflects its unique cultural heritage and astounding natural beauty. Wherever you are in Montenegro, its rocky mountains and beautiful coastline with breathtaking sea views are a perfect scene for Montenegrin cuisine, which is a delightful fusion of Mediterranean freshness and hearty Balkan flavors. 

So, what are the iconic locations for unforgettable gastronomic impressions? Visit coastal towns like Kotor and Budva and savor the taste of fresh seafood, which is the cornerstone of Montenegrin cuisine. Enjoy dishes like Crni Rižot (black risotto), made with squid ink, and Grilled Sea Bass, traditionally served with local olive oil and lemon.

In the country’s heartland, the cuisine takes full-bodied flavors and tends to be hearty and nourishing. We advise you to go with dishes like Njeguški pršut, a local kind of cured ham similar to Italian prosciutto, and creamy and rich Kajmak.

Montenegro offers traditional dishes loved not only throughout the country, but all over the Balkans – Ćevapi (little grilled meat sausages) and Burek (a kind of pastry with meat, cheese, or spinach filling).

Local products deserve our special attention. Treat yourself with local try cheeses, olives, and wines. The country's wine-making tradition has been recognized worldwide, especially for the production of Vranac, a native red wine grape. Choose from a brilliant collection of local wines to find a perfect pairing with local specialties.

For those with a sweet tooth, the iconic Montenegrin dessert Priganice, small doughnuts with honey or jam is a must-try.
